Heavy Metals

Emission data

Emission scenario used in calculations of lead, cadmium and mercury transport and deposition for 2005 is mainly based on data officially submitted to the UNECE Secretariat. The total anthropogenic emissions of HMs and their spatial distributions with resolution 50x50 km are given below:

Heavy metals	Total emissions, t/y	Maps
Lead	50.0	map
Cadmium	2.1	map
Mercury	0.6	map

National emission totals on lead, cadmium and mercury for 2005 were used in calculations.

Depositions and transboundary fluxes

On the basis of emission and meteorological data for 2005 transboundary depositions were calculated. Maps of lead, cadmium and mercury deposition fluxes from national sources (Maps of deposition fluxes from), maps of contribution of external antropogenic sources to deposition to the country (Maps of contributions) and maps of total deposition fluxes to the country (Maps of deposition fluxes to) are presented in the table. Besides pie charts illustrating the deposition budget for principal regions-receptors (Depositions from) and contributions of main sources to deposition to the country (Depositions to) are given.

Persistent Organic Pollutants

Emission data

For PCDD/Fs, B[a]P, B[b]F, B[k]F and I_P official emission data submitted to the UN ECE Secretariat were used. Total emissions of the country as well as links to the maps of spatial distribution of emissions for 2005 (PCDD/Fs, B[a]P, B[b]F, B[k]F, I_P used for modelling are presented.'"

POPs	Total emissions, t/y (for PCDD/Fs - g TEQ/y)	Maps
PCDD/Fs	38.0	map
B[a]P	10.0	map
B[b]F	20.0	map
B[k]F	5.5	map
IP	5.6	map

Mean annual concentrations in main environmental compartments

Calculated concentrations in various media including atmosphere (means over the country, minimum and maximum values in the country) as well as links to the corresponding maps of spatial distributions are presented in the table. For PAHs one-year calculation were performed.

Depositions and transboundary fluxes of PCDD/Fs and B[a]P

On the basis of emission and meteorological data for 2005 transboundary depositions of B[a]P and PCDD/Fs were calculated. Links to the maps of air concentrations (Air concentrations), maps of deposition fluxes from national sources (Deposition from the country), contributions of external antropogenic sources to deposition to the country (Contribution to depositions) and total depositions to the country (Depositions to the country) are presented in the table. Besides pie charts illustrate the deposition budget for principal regions-receptors (Depositions from the country) and contributions of main sources to air concentrations (Air concentrations) and deposition (Depositions to the country) to the country.

POPs	Air concentrations	Depositions from the country	Depositions to the country	Contribution to depositions
PCDD/Fs	map / pie chart	map / pie chart	map / pie chart	map
B[a]P	map / pie chart	map / pie chart	map / pie chart	map
